John Thelwall at the crossroads of radical politics and Romantic literature
Steve Poole’s study traces John Thelwall across a life that joined political radicalism with literary work. The account places his 1794 trial for high treason and acquittal alongside his later turn toward poetry and drama, while noting his connections with Wordsworth and Coleridge. The title’s “acquitted felon” refers to the disparaging label applied to Thelwall by William Windham after the trial. Together, these details frame Thelwall as a figure whose public political history and place in Romantic-era literary circles are considered in tandem.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Readers interested in Romantic-era writers and their literary networks.
